Profitable VC‑backed SaaS | 1–3 % equity | UK visa sponsor – own growth for 500 + kitchens

About Jelly

Jelly is rebuilding the operating system for food businesses from the ground up. Kitchens in Michelin stars, pubs, cafes and hotels still run core ops on pen & paper; we give them a modern operating system. 500 + sites use Jelly today and we’re profitable.

Why Now

We reached profitability without a growth team; operators stay and expand. Distribution is the bottleneck. Join before the engine is built and write the playbook that powers the next chapter.

The Mission

This is your chance to own and build a repeatable growth engine at a profitable, product-led startup. You’ll be our first growth hire: owning acquisition, testing channels, building systems, and making bets. You will start by owning top-of-funnel, but you’ll help shape the whole GTM machine. This is not about inheriting a system. This is about building one and becoming known for it.

You’ll Work With

Founder (sales/onboarding) • BD caller (warm outbound) • Designer (creative) • Support assistant (CRM/admin) • Engineers (shipping fast).

You Might Be a Fit If

* 2–4 yrs in an early‑stage (<20 people) startup

* Helped take GTM from 0 → something real (hands‑on, even if you didn’t lead)

* Now you are ready to lead and want full ownership

* You act fast, test fast, learn fast – and think in ROI, not vanity metrics

* You’re scrappy, decisive, unafraid to be wrong

* You enjoy writing copy, launching ads, and making things happen quickly

Where This Role Can Go

* Head of Growth – own strategy, team, budget

* GTM Lead – run growth + sales together

* Senior IC – stay deep in execution and scale the engine

What You’ll Get

* Real ownership from day one

* £40–60k depending on experience

* Significant equity (1–3 %) and long‑term career upside

* Weekly 1-on-1 with founder; access to roadmaps; seat in board meetings

* 33 days holiday, Hybrid London (Bank), Visa sponsorship available

* Fortnightly team dinners at customer restaurants
